11AA
Camden (51) vs. Hickman County (43)
Camden is the #6 seed.
Stewart County (69) vs. Lewis County (54)
The 4/5 witnessed a relatively large blowout. Landon Dennis Landon Dennis 5'11" | PG Stewart County | 2021 State TN leads the Rebels with 21.4 points per game, but it will take much more than Landon’s customary explosion to topple favorites Creek Wood. The entire team needs to continue this scoring of high 60’s.

* (Fairview): A shot that feels as warm as drinking hot chocolate in a snow-covered ski lodge. Recently found the weight room and his game is truly coming alive. Automatic when left alone. Fairview utilized his wonderful touch and mental focus through several designed plays.

Mays McCoy

* (Fairview): More confident and stronger with the basketball than he was just two short months ago. Mays is now assertive and hard-charging. Definitely skilled at a young age.
#24 2024 Bryce Stanfield Bryce Stanfield 6'0" | PG Waverly Central | 2024 TN * (Waverly): Scrappy, hungry. Bryce is a future point guard. Solid, average catch-and-shoot guy. He plays with a maturity uncommon in freshmen. Repeatedly earned his way to the free throw line. Tends to get rattled on the pull-up when challenged…no matter the distance. Bryce really cooled off in the second half, missing nearly all of his shots from the floor. Stanfield was reliable throughout the night from the free throw line.
Fairview up 26-22 late 3Q.
26-23 now. Waverly is playing with a lot of confidence on offense. I think this is going to be a tight finish.

#1 2022 Noah Foster (Waverly): Gunner. Noah is a streaky player, but he knows he is the guy for Waverly. He gets plenty of looks and releases like a seasoned bowman. Gutsy. Gamer. He is the guy you want to lean on late.
#40 Shemar Mayberry (Waverly): Waverly really gave away a lot of size inside. Mayberry was not dominant, but he was serviceable in a vital role, that of rim-protector. Mayberry’s absence with graduation will be pronounced and the team will need to figure out a frontline in the off-season. Noah Foster needs some support offensively from the next bigs.
Semifinals: Stewart County (#4) @ Creek Wood (#1)
Camden (#6) @ Fairview (#2)
Creek Wood remains the favorite and FHS will get another tough match, this time with Camden.
